Filter by:The CANARY (Coronary Assessment by Near-infrared of Atherosclerotic Rupture-prone Yellow) Study is a pivotal trial to evaluate criteria for defining a Lipid Core Plaque (LCP) that is at high risk of rupturing during standard of care therapy and causing intra-procedural complications. If plaques that require treatment are at higher than normal risk of causing intra-procedural complications, some life threatening, the treating physician is better informed and may opt to take precautionary measures to mitigate the risk or result of a complication. The CANARY Study is also designed to evaluate the feasibility of using a distal embolization protection device (EPD) as a means to prevent heart attacks triggered by the embolization of plaque during standard care therapy. It is thought that the EPD will prevent plaque from going downstream during treatment and obstructing other heart vessels. These obstructions could cause heart attacks by preventing blood from reaching heart muscle tissue.
This randomized, controlled, diagnostic, multicenter trial will compare two diagnostic imaging pathways--coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and single photon emission tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI)--to determine the incidence of major adverse coronary events (MACE), defined as myocardial infarction (MI) or cardiac-related death, and cross-over to revascularization. CCTA may be used to direct patients with symptoms of stable angina or angina equivalent to optimal medical therapy (OMT). The use of CCTA as a diagnostic tool for angina symptoms will be associated with no increase in MACE or revascularization, decreased cost, reduced risks (e.g., less radiation exposure), additional insights into alternate explanations of chest pain, and increased cost-effectiveness in comparison with use of SPECT MPI/invasive coronary angiography (ICA).
The use of the IABP, in addition to standard care, in high-risk cardiac patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery is feasible and may result in improved perioperative outcomes at 30 days compared with standard care alone, while maintaining acceptable safety with respect to vascular accesss-related complications.
The purpose of this study is to prospectively determine the relationship between the dimensions of the aorta (the large artery taking off the heart) and blood pressure during cardiac surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of intensive blood pressure control compared to standard blood pressure control on progression of coronary atherosclerosis by intravascular ultrasound in hypertensive patients with coronary artery disease.
CORAMI trial is a prospective, international, multicenter randomized study which will be performed in experienced invasive facility centres with 24/7 PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) duty and patient enrollment will continue for 18 months (October 2010 - March 2012).The aim of the study is to compare strategy of complete vs target lesion-only primary PCI in IRA (infarct related artery) in STEMI (ST elevation myocardial infarction) patients.
As a result of the implementation of Protocol Am3.0, the design and objective of the NEVO II trial were changed to focus on the safety follow-up of the 103 NEVO™ subjects. Although this trial started interventional, the remainder of the study will be observational. The objective of this prospective, observational study is to ensure the safety and the wellbeing of subjects treated with the NEVO™ SES.
The purpose of the study is to follow the management of blood lipids in patients with planned percutaneous coronary intervention (widening of coronary vessels) in a period from 6 to 10 weeks after the intervention.
This study was designed to test the hypothesis that the addition of full-dose atorvastatin (80 mg/day) to conventional medical treatment could reduce ischaemic recurrences after non-ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (NSTE-AMI) in patients with severe and diffuse coronary artery disease (CAD) not amenable to any form of mechanical revascularisation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Vitamin D supplementation on cardiovascular disease and certain cells (T-regulatory cells) in the body that play a role in plaque formation in arteries. This study will determine the levels of Vitamin D and T-regulatory cells in subjects with coronary artery disease and if Vitamin D supplementation will affect future events such as heart attach and stroke.
